A new church forming in Chester, VA
EXALTING GOD
THROUGH NEW LIFE
ABOUT US
MISSION
To cultivate a hopeful community shaped by grace and truth to nourish new life in Christ.
VISION
A diverse church body exalting God in discipleship and unity.
CORE VALUES
THE BIBLE
OUR DELIGHTFUL GUIDE
We study, proclaim, and apply His Spirit-inspired and authoritative Word because this is how God brings new life to our thinking, feeling, and acting.
DISCIPLESHIP
OUR GRACIOUS CALLING
We proclaim the gospel as the message of salvation, the basis of our new identity, and the means of walking in new life.
THE GOSPEL
OUR ABIDING CENTER
We nurture disciples of Christ through biblical teaching and intentional relationships to grow in love of God and love of neighbor, bearing fruit in the power of the Holy Spirit.
UNITY
OUR DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER
We base our fellowship on biblical truths, and in matters of Christian liberty we humbly serve others ahead of ourselves because unity is God’s gift to us and a testimony to the world.
